Abstract
Some criteria of optimality of a block design with nested rows and columns are considered. The criteria are based on the eigenvalues of the information matrix C or on the eigenvalues of the matrix C with respect to a diagonal matrix R of treatment replications. New constructions of some optimal block designs with nested rows and columns are presented for application to special plant protection experiments.
